It’s the kind of thing that happens all the time when editing a movie. I dunno what more to say about it.

And about the “random First Order patrols,” I think if you removed that line from the sequence the way we have it laid out, it would make the trooper come out of nowhere even more so than in the original. And that trooper has to be there because it’s how we meet Lando.

If you removed the line and reverted the sequence to the theatrical, suddenly the First Order are able to arrive comically quickly after analyzing the necklace.

I think the current implementation is the best approach, all things considered.
